guitar stays on the chord of G, while the keyboard riff is played another
three times.
GDidn't have the money round to buy a Morry Thou
FBeen around and seen a lot to Cshake me anyGhow
GBegged and borrowed sometimes I admit I even stole
But the Fworst crime that I ever did was Cplaying rock'n'Groll
But the Dmoney's no good, Fjust get a Ggrip on yourself
But the Dmoney's no good, Fjust get a Ggrip on yourself
GSuffering convictions on a two way stretch inside
FThe air in here in pretty thin, I Cthink I'll go outGside
GCommitted for insanity and crimes against the soul
The Fworst crime that I ever did was Cplay some rock'n'Groll
But the Dmoney's no good, Fjust get a Ggrip on yourself
But the Dmoney's no good, Fjust get a Ggrip on yourself

DOoh... Aooh... Cooh... Fooh... Gooh... (x2)
GNow I find from week to week the sentence sticking fast
FTurn the corner, rub my eyes, and Chope the world will Glast
GStranger from another planet, welcome to our hole
FJust strap on your guitar and we'll Cplay some rock and Groll
But the Dmoney's no good, Fjust get a Ggrip on yourself
But the Dmoney's no good, Fjust get a Ggrip on yourself
(during this bit, the guitar and bass stay on D while
